Biological Sciences (Molecular Genetics), BSc (Hons)

Molecular genetics forms the foundation of much modern biological research, focusing on the molecular mechanisms of gene expression, regulation, and their influence on cellular and organismal properties. Recent advancements, driven by vast DNA sequence datasets and complete genome sequences, have transformed this field, enabling deeper insights into human traits and complex diseases involving multiple genes. Its applications extend to key areas of life, including human health, infectious diseases, nutrition, and daily living.Biological Sciences offers a flexible exploration of living organisms, from environmental interactions to gene expression, with 12 subject areas including molecular genetics. Students can initially sample various programs before specializing, gaining skills in data analysis, programming, problem-solving, communication, and independent thinking to prepare for diverse scientific careers.
